Homemade Attachments for Forklifts Skidsteers and Other Equipment

Should be propped higher than your max reasonable snow fall higher than the ground regardless. Don't want the bottom firewood sitting in water as the snow melts.

But for other shit, yeah reaching 4ft back for shit would be kind of a PITA.

They sit on pallets when being stored, this is just when unloading them.

I've been grabbing empty cages whenever I see them at the scrap yard.

Gonna pick up a couple with tanks next time and make covers.

be mindful of which corner-to-corner you cut them on
there's only one (well, two symmetrical ones) that gives you a good overhang

 

[Muckin_Slusher]

Neat design, and easy to build yourself.

real neat
if I don't get around to making a power rake I might make one of them instead

from the mini-ex thread. Posting here too so it doesn't get lost.

(and it's Canadian!)

A lawnmower and a dumping lawn trailer would be way cheaper than the wear using that thing will put on the machine's undercarriage.

 

[rockota]

That makes zero sense to me. Don’t understand the use case.

both of those are known to last in the industrial world over time

waterhorse is moving dirt one bucket at a time with his mini ex, tramming it about 200 feet. With this he could tram at least 3 buckets at once, thus saving wear on his undercarriage.

See the mini-ex thread for more! (including video)

Show me anyone in the industrial world dumb enough to use that contraption.

he also has a tractor with a bucket... so...

I now a couple
I'm starting to think that you are thinking that it is used for something other than what you think it is

 

[bgaidan]

Well, let's see.....

About the only thing I see on that list that it would be useful for is "carry tools" and that's a stretch.

But wait, there's "much more"

 

[Muckin_Slusher]

Had someone notice these slots and ask what they're for.

Any idea? The machine has the balls on the main chassis to hook up the backhoe, but I thought those also just used regular quicktach plate.

Spacer to go from a "old" 39" SSQA plate to a new 45" one?

Pretty simple. Originally bolted through the bucket and clipped to the spill guard. But fits the fork mounts as well

Belongs here.

 

[Muckin_Slusher]

No tractor? No problem.

 

[Muckin_Slusher]

...and from the Farmshow...

 

[Muckin_Slusher]

....and now bad ideas are in my youtube algorithm.

 

[PAToyota]

As bad ideas go, that one isn't terrible. Just a truck mounted Roust-A-Bout:

Quickly made this little magnetic street sweeper for the rear of my forklift at the shop on my lunch break. We deal with a shit load of pallets which love to toss nails everywhere

Nice!!!

At first I thought you had built a magnetic attachment for a street sweeper to pick up the nails, and wondered why use a magnetic attachment point, when all forklifts have a easily used rear tow pin to use to attach too.

 

[Gdogg]

I got tired of trying to grade with a box blade, so I came up with this, it works perfect I can do a couple passes with this and it’s straight you could never do that with a back blade or scraper box.
I made it all out steel I had laying around.

 

[Muckin_Slusher]

Nice simply alternative to a grapple

Could also make an attachment for pallet forks that works like this, but probably should chop the forks shorter (but leave them thick).

 

[denis]

FTW

 

[AlxJ64]

I stole bgaidan idea in regards to the Qtach deal on an Excavator. I cobbled this together using some dirt cheap Qtach plate kits (like $120 delivered for the pair) and then misc other box tubing and such that I had around. Then drew up and cut out the other plates for the Bobcat X-change.

 

[72Pstroke]

Any chance you would share the .dxf on the X-change brackets?

Sorry, no. Other people have ruined me for sharing files. I typed out a long explanation of what happened last time but deleted it because it doesn't matter. Just know that I've been burned by being nice and just don't do it anymore; its not worth the constant questions about my drawings, the fact that my drawings aren't cleaned up and just ready to burn, and the fact that others have taken them and started mass producing them when the original deal was "just for personal use".

That's happened to me in the past as well. Fuckin assholes.
